Every Premier League club's second-choice striker ranked from worst to best

Andy Carroll could be swapping West Ham for Chelsea this month, as the Blues want to sign the England forward.

However, it is probable he will be leaving the bench at the London Stadium for the one at Stamford Bridge, as it is unlikely he is being bought to replace Alvaro Morata as Chelsea's first-choice centre forward.

At West Ham he has had to cover for Javier Hernandez this season, and clearly Antonio Conte feels Carroll will be good backup for the Blues.

Carroll is the butt of many jokes, but few would deny he is a fantastic option to have off the bench, making him a valuable second-choice striker.
